Years ago I got a shot of a heavily tuned (bigger capacity, some fancy italian racing carb etc) Vespa T5 with the manual 1st, neutral, 2nd, 3rd, 4th twist gearchange, and it was possibly the least in control of any moving vehicle I've ever "controlled"....and that includes the one and only time I rode a horser10crw wrote:Yep, bikes scare me silly.rossybee wrote:This kind of talk sums up why I won't buy a bike

It's those daft little wheels. Horrible!
Try a real bike, still scary but feels much safer.
Horses scare me, no brakes, no off switch, and the last time I was in one it reached back and bit my foot!

I think standard procedure is to be on the horse, rather than in it.

Seems only fair to bump this one back up to the top again. Noops and I had a cracking night out in Edinburgh last week with Exige Ken who was over visiting from the States.
He is doing well and looking well....
A good time was had by all....

Nearly 11 years since post #1 on this thread, back in those halcyon days of SE
Glad you guys had fun! Has noops still got an elise, or is he now fully converted to 2 wheels or 4 hooves?
